Why Crypto market is crashing?

Two major news in the crypto world has taken the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin towards a down-ward ride to a three-month low. BTC shed $3,000 in a matter of hours which is nearly 40% below from its all-time high of almost $70,000 set in November.

As per reports, this massive sell-off has occurred in response to the US Federal Reserve’s indications of raising interest rates. They are also planning to stop printing money which will eventually make it more expensive to borrow in order to steady the economy.

On the other hand, Kazakhstan, the country known in the crypto world for accounting almost 18 percent of the Bitcoin network’s hash activity, saw a nationwide internet shutdown. This internet shutdown caused a big drop in the BTC’s hashrate.
